      @GardenState You need to size the Truman's boots based on the last with which they are made. I guess the Java Waxed flesh and the Coach Rambler are mostly Last 79, while the cognag shrunken bison derbies are last 55. You might want to consider this when sizing.

        @the246guy got a pretty good fit on them. I’d advise against wearing them with shorts. People look at you weird  😃

          @GardenState That looks absolutely marvelous. Is that the Coach Rambler or the Shrunken Bison? I like the fact that how distinctive that leather is. Unlike the Red Wing boots, each one of them from Truman seems to be unique.

          I'm tempted to get another pair of Truman boots. Having lost all 3 of my Red Wing shoes (had them for years) to the recent flooding here in Germany, I'm on the fence if I should need another pair of boots. I usually rotate between two pairs of boots in a week. I'm now just left with the Truman's.

            @the246guy First off, I'm sorry you're having to deal with all that flooding - I hope you are all okay.

            That is the Coach Rambler. Oddly enough I want to get a pair of those Cognac Shrunken Bison Derbies they have available. They look amazing.

            I would most certainly say you need another pair of something. Truman be an ideal contender; Red Wing is still great however. I bought a pair of those Classic Chelseas and they are just like sneakers as far as comfort goes.

            Truman has so many amazing leather options. That Java Waxed Flesh is amazing looking with some patina on it.

            Be safe!

                          I've been staring at a computer screen for 60+ hours in the last five days…A quick scan on New Posts and the title "Show us your boots" didn't quite read as written in my mind... 😃

                          I think I should call it quits for the day...

                              @Giles they're delightfully obscene.

                              I was omewhat fool hardy with the new Zerrows and went out for a full day in them, and have some tasty blisters to show for it.

                              @goosehd get yourself off to bed, you deviant  😃

                                        I have been trying to find comfortable all rubber work boots for about fourteen years.  I used to go for Muck boots but the neoprene leaks through (I often work in deep water. Sometimes chest high) most rubber boots are too snug on my calves so I fold them down.

                                        These seem to be the best I have ever found.

                                        They have athletic type support in them and are unlined but the composite toe is wide enough for my huge feet.

                                        Truth be told I looked at them because of the color. 😎

                                          Do you somehow protect your boots from the shifter or do you proudly wear the marks it leaves on the left boot?
